CF Montreal vs Inter Miami: Preview, predictions and lineups

Inter Miami return to action following their dominant display vs New York Red Bulls to take on CF Montreal this Saturday at Stade Saputo.

It was a breathtaking showing from the Herons last time out, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez putting up their best performances in a Miami shirt thus far in the team’s emphatic 6-2 victory over New York. Messi’s five assists broke the MLS single-game record, while Suarez managed to bag his first hat trick as a Heron.

Montreal’s impressive start to the season has been extinguished with first-year boss Laurent Courtois at the helm. After starting off the 2024 campaign with two wins out of their first three matches played (one coming against Miami on March 10), the Canadian outfit have since picked up just one win in seven matches played.

A win would see the Herons remain atop the Eastern Conference table and taste victory for the eight time this season. Should Montreal pull of the huge upset, they could find themselves back in a playoff position as they currently sit in 11th place in the division with 12 points.

Much of Montreal’s poor form can be attributed to the number of injuries they’re dealing with. Key players like starting strikers Josef Martinez and Matias Coccaro are both out of action until late July with knee injuries.

Ex-LAFC forward Kwadwo Opoku is also sidelined with an ankle injury, while new signing Dominik Yankov and defender Joaquin Sosa will also miss the contest with respective hamstring and leg injuries.
